Can you easily communicate in your country (business/private life) without being involuntarily forced to use whatsapp? - Lemmy.world

… is it possible to do any kind of business and/or have regular conversations without having to use whatsapp as a main way of communication? If you’d like you can say in what country you’re living.

I’m in Canada. My s/o once had an employer force their staff to use WhatsApp and it was horrible, lol. The notifications were constant and the whole getting work stuff while at home was annoying. But she never had that happen before or after that one employer.

I’ve never had an employer use WhatsApp, they communicate by text if I need to be reached when I’m not working (rare for me), or email/Teams if I’m at work.
